Netwerkstekker ShiverPeaks 08-51005 Cat. 6A gereedschapsloos STP voor RJ45-keystone-poorten

The ShiverPeaks Network connector 08-51005 Cat. 6A tool-less STP is a keystone-style RJ45 termination solution intended for fast field installation and productive network upgrades. It provides a shielded (STP) connection that meets Cat6A performance requirements and supports data rates up to 10 Gbps when used within Cat6A cabling systems. The design allows termination without specialized tools while maintaining cable shielding continuity for environments where EMI protection and high-frequency performance are important.

Advantages

This tool-less Cat. 6A STP connector simplifies installation via a no-tool termination mechanism that reduces installation time and the need for additional equipment. The shielded construction preserves cable shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity for high-speed applications. Compatibility with standard RJ45 keystone and patch panel ports enables flexible deployment in wall plates and structured cabling panels. The connector is designed for repeated use in field environments and supports the electrical characteristics required for Cat6A networks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Terminating Cat6A shielded Ethernet cables into RJ45 keystone ports
• Fast field installations and on-site network upgrades
• Patch panels and wall plate keystone modules in commercial or industrial environments
• Environments requiring EMI protection and reliable 10 Gbps links

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (supports up to 10 Gbps within Cat6A specification)
• Shielding: STP (foiled or braided shielding continuity)
• Termination type: Tool-less, punch-down free
• Connector form factor: RJ45 keystone compatible
• Application: Suitable for horizontal cabling, patch panels and keystone wall plates
• Conductor support: Standard twisted-pair Ethernet conductors (AWG range typical for Cat6A cables)

How to use

Prepare the shielded Cat6A cable by removing the outer jacket to expose the foil or braid and pairs according to the connector’s preparation guide. Maintain shield continuity by folding back the drain wire or braid as required by the connector design, then insert pairs into the designated slots following color-coding. Snap or press the connector’s cover to secure the conductors; the tool-less mechanism terminates connections and engages the shielding contact. Finally, insert the keystone module into the wall plate or patch panel port until it locks in place and verify link integrity with an appropriate network tester.

Recommendations

Use compatible shielded Cat6A cable and ensure correct folding or termination of the cable shield to maintain grounding and EMI protection. Confirm that the receiving keystone port or patch panel provides proper shield grounding. Test each terminated connection with a Cat6A-capable tester to verify performance up to 10 Gbps and to check for pair continuity, pair length, and return loss where required.
